I think Howe has to drop Pope for the Everton game (which I fear we will lose).
Not for punishment or revenge.
Pope is a good guy and will have been mortified by what happened last night.
If he plays, he will be second guessing every decision he makes.
And THAT will make him a liability. #NUFC

Oh, the irony: a caller to #BBCYouAndYours explained how, as an immigrant of Indian descent, she is enjoying right-wing Brits hanging St George and Union flags all over the UK.

Why? Because she's been making and selling the flags here for many years , and sales are booming.

Can we use some form of AI to cut all the "you knows" from #R4Today interviews?

Without BBC management picking it up to eliminate legally threatening clauses?

Pope cost us that. His idiotic schoolboy error gave them a goal and belief. And it knocked the air out of our sails. We might have got a draw but for him. #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 10:01 PM
Tonali and, Bruno knackered by half time. Pope. #nufc

Awful corner from Hall. I still think there's something in this for us, despite the donkey in our goal. (with apologies to all donkeys). #nufc

Fucking Pope. #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Need Joelinton on. #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 9:19 PM
We can keep p L saying Pope when he's prone to such STUPID errors of judgement.. #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 9:15 PM
Both goals entirely due to Popes stupidity. It knocked all the other players. #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 9:12 PM
FUCKING IDIOT. #NUFC
November 25, 2025 at 9:10 PM
He didn't need to come out. Three defenders were covering. Ffs. #nufc

Get Ramsdale into the team. He's not so stupid.
November 25, 2025 at 9:08 PM
Fucking Pope. Stupid. Sooooo stupid. #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 9:07 PM
I'm going venture the opinion that the next big player we sell will be Gordon. No reason just think he will be. #nufc

Our final ball has been awful. #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 8:35 PM
What we now have to do is play on phases. Sit back for 10 mins to "rest" then 10 mins high pressing. #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Has anyone seen mason Greenwood yet? #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 8:13 PM
I was so convinced Tonali was offside, I didn't cheer the goal. #nufc
November 25, 2025 at 8:08 PM
Interesting set up. #nufc

Further musings: Imagine a world where a company uses AI to create a press release about its work, sends it to a media company which uses AI to rewrite the Press release for its publications.

Mind, the standard of work by human PR officers and "journalists" suggests we'd be no worse off.
